Most hardware instruction sets do these comparisons as two instructions a compare followd by a branch depending on the result of the compare. So for most JVMs on most hardware it makes no difference at all whether its <, <=,= >=, > or !=, its the same two instructions with different flags set.

Of course it entirely depends on the instruction set and how the JVM authors and their C compiler chooses to use it.
